    Abstract As with all social processes, human migration is a dynamic process that requires regular theoretical reflection; this article offers such reflection as related to the role of the natural environment in contemporary migration research and theory. A growing body of evidence suggests that environmental contexts are increasingly shifting social and ecological realities in ways that are consequential to migration theory. We review some of this evidence, providing examples applicable to core migration theories, including neoclassical economic and migration systems perspectives, the "push-pull" framework, and the new economics of labor migration. We suggest that neglecting consideration of the natural environment may yield misspecified migration models that attribute migration too heavily to social and economic factors particularly in the context of contemporary climate change,. On the other hand, failure to consider migration theory in climate scenarios may lead to simplistic projections and understandings, as in the case of "climate refugees". We conclude that migration researchers have an obligation to accurately reflect the complexity of migration's drivers, including the environment, within migration scholarship especially in the context of global climate change.

  2. Article: Exploring Rural-Urban Differences in Polygenic Associations for Health among Older Adults in the United States.

    Abstract This paper contributes to research on health disparities among rural and urban residents by considering differences in the magnitude of genetic associations for physical health, mental health, and health behaviors across the two settings. Previous research has shown reduced genetic associations in rural compared to urban settings but none have utilized current genome-wide polygenic scores and none have focused on older adults. Using a sample of 14,994 adults from the 1992 to 2016 waves of the Health and Retirement Study our results suggest genetic associations for BMI (p<.018) and heart conditions (p < .023) are significantly reduced in rural compared to urban settings and we find weak evidence in support of this association for depression (p. < .065) and no evidence for smoking (p < 461). In sum, the weaker genetic associations in rural areas highlights the centrality of the social, economic, and built environment as a determinant of disparities.

    Abstract This study examines patterns and trends in household food security in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, from 2010 to 2019. We use data from a household panel nested in the Agincourt Health and Socio- Demographic Surveillance System. Findings indicate that there have been improvements in household food security in this rural setting over the last decade. By polychoric principal component analysis, an aggregate food security index was constructed and we observed a small, yet important, proportion of households (7.8 %) that remained chronically food insecure. An ordered probit model was used to estimate the determinants of food security. Findings reveal that the observed differences in household food security status are as a result of differences in socioeconomic status. We therefore recommend that focus must be placed on identifying economic opportunities and empowering the chronically food insecure households if universal household food security is to be attained in rural South Africa and beyond.

    Abstract Significance: Amblyopic children read 25% slower than their peers during binocular silent reading.
    Purpose: We compared binocular reading to fellow eye reading to determine whether slow reading in amblyopic children is due to binocular inhibition; that is, the amblyopic eye is interfering during binocular reading.
    Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 38 children with amblyopia and 36 age-similar control children who completed grades 1 to 6 were enrolled. Children silently read grade-appropriate paragraphs during binocular reading and fellow eye reading while wearing ReadAlyzer eye-tracking goggles (Compevo AB, Stockholm, Sweden). Reading rate, number of forward saccades, number of regressive saccades, and fixation duration were analyzed between groups and between viewing conditions. We also examined whether sensory factors (amblyopia severity, stereoacuity, suppression) were related to slow reading.
    Results: For amblyopic children, binocular reading versus fellow eye reading did not differ for reading rate (176 ± 60 vs. 173 ± 53 words per minute, P = .69), number of forward saccades (104 ± 35 vs. 97 ± 33 saccades/100 words, P = .18), number of regressive saccades (21 ± 15 vs. 22 ± 13 saccades/100 words, P = .75), or fixation duration (0.31 ± 0.06 vs. 0.32 ± 0.07 seconds, P = .44). As expected, amblyopic children had a slower reading rate and more forward saccades than control children during binocular reading and fellow eye reading. Slow reading was not related to any sensory factors.
    Conclusions: Binocular reading did not differ from fellow eye reading in amblyopic children. Thus, binocular inhibition is unlikely to play a role in slow binocular reading and is instead a fellow eye deficit that emerges from a disruption in binocular visual experience during development.

    Abstract In this paper, we propose a guiding operational definition and corresponding set of empirical steps to identify and study trapped populations. Trapped populations consist of actors who are highly vulnerable to climate and environmental stressors given limited resources (economic, social, etc.), which limit their ability to adapt to these stressors in-situ or by choosing to migrate. Informed by both insights and omissions from prior theoretical and empirical research, we propose a guiding operational definition of trapped populations that appreciates and incorporates actors' limited resources and their migration intentions against the backdrop of climate and environmental stressors. As it should, our operational definition points to a specific set of operations, or steps, which can be followed to empirically identify and study trapped populations. Using data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS), we detail the steps permitting both retrospective and prospective identification of trapped populations. We conclude by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of our operational definition and empirical approach, as well as possible extensions.
